Venus Versus Virus is an anime about individuals whose special sight is expanded beyond the normal spectrum, yet most of it falls apart unless the viewer observes the events through a narrow, myopic lens. The moment you begin taking in the show at more than face value, it falls apart.

Venus Versus Virus: The Complete Series Review by: Sean "Pants" Mitchell Created by: Atsushi Suzumi Director: Shinichiro Kimura Licensed by: FUNimation  Killing you gently...  in a good way. Venus Versus Virus starts off with a bang—a bit misleading as the series doesn't focus much on action.  The story is clearly where its strength lies.  The Venus Vanguard is a special group tasked with the challenge of fighting viruses, demon-like beings that are created when a human's soul is lost to another virus. These viruses only attack those able to see them, those with “the sight”. Naturally, Venus Vanguard can't advertise themselves as demon-hunters for hire. The demon-hunters promote themselves using flyers for the boutique, Venus Vanguard.  The initial set-up in Venus Versus Virus might seem a little cliched, but its story and characters remain fresh.

Venus Versus Virus should be among those disappointing anime this year, maybe it’s just me but don’t see much seeders and leechers when it released in torrents anyway. Well, the story should be good but the poor animation with mediocre fight scenes and crappy soundtracks really makes this among the worst anime [...]
